The Xbox One Gamescom Discussion Thread!

You said it has better controls. You cant know that unless you've played both games

Semantics, classic :) Anyway, whatever, I don't feel like further bashing a game I am actually looking forward to so I'll just say I can't wait for both. Back to the main point though, I totally disagree about Uncharted being generic. In fact it was defined as it's own brand of TPS when Uncharted 2 came out. Uncharted 4 looks cool as **** if I'm completely honest with myself. Sorry to have to say that.

I wish QB was a open world game instead the time powers would have made it real interesting

Gosh. How many times are you gonna say that?

Scalebound was 12fps max with shitty animation signal unpower of Xbox console, yes. Dealwithit

Just flat-out, fun looking gamer's games. What more needs to be said?

What's with all the slo mo in QB?

Damage control continues. Destiny is 100% online. So is Planetside, FF XIV, etc.. I don't see the problem. So many salty cows on here still. Anything positive about XB1 games they try to find something negative to say about it. Cloud power is real though and DX12 is coming.

***********************************************************************************************************************

The gamers who are hating are biased trolling Cows with lots of time on their hands because Sony didn't attend Gamecom because they want to save their money. Just ignore them. Microsoft had a great show. Millions of gamers were excited at what was shown. Lots of XB1 will be sold this holiday season because of it.

I gotta say that doesn't look that great.

have you never played a remedy game?

@mems_1224: Alan wake was one, right? I don't remember a lot of slow mo in that. Could be wrong though

there was some i think, when you dodged enemies.

Yesterday sure was salty for the Cows. lol

@mems_1224: Ya, I don't remember. But I'm assuming by your comment slow mo is common in their games. Cool beans

Oh yeah. They made the first two Max Payne games, and they pretty much brought bullet time to the table for gaming.

The X1 seems like a for now console. It will eventually get to a point to when most games are online only and when m$ shuts down the servers you have a pointless $400 box that can't do shit.

Reminds me of Earth defense force. Better but not that much.

Kinda sad they needed the cloud for this really. Looks fun though.

Yep. Not that the Ps4 doesn't have this problem either though, just to a lesser extent.

Kinda hope Scalebound ends up on PC as it's the only game i'd get an Xbox one for, if the issues are ironed out. But it seems like a game that would be console only.

The games look alright, nothing to buy day one though.

and forza 6 was the highlight at gamescom again...

Was a waste of an hour and a half of my time, I could've played Xenoblade but I decided to give MS the benefit of the doubt.

Apart from KI season 3 and MAYBE Scalebound, it was awful.

Wait..........you find Uncharted games to NOT be easy?

what are you talking about? those "hold up and press X to auto-platform" sections and those "hold up while shit happens around you that you cant control" moments are hard as ****.

Uncharted had 1 good game out of 3 entries, lets calm the **** down.

"QB looked super easy"...yeah but lets go over this, what demo in the last 5 or 6 years have you seen where the person playing the game has actually struggled against what they are fighting? Only reason this looks "easier" than usual is homeboy has all these powers, the bigger question is whether or not everything works on a cool down. So long as there is something keeping the player in check the action should be fine, and in Remedy's case the core shooting is usually enjoyable, with Max Payne 1 and 2 still being fucking terrific in that department.

Could it become stale and repetitive? Sure, Remedy's games are almost never varied, Alan Wake absolutely was repetitive. But, I'd like more detail on the mechanics before I was going to assume a vanilla, covered based, set piece driven third person shooter stomps on it, because the fucking graphics are pretty.

Did I read this thread right, Nathan Drake has character, but we're questioning Sam Lake?

LOL I never needed my games to be hard to enjoy them. I like a bit of a challenge and then there are games I definitely play for the challenge. I like the worlds, characters, stories I get in games. I love Uncharted but I never once saw it as a hard game. And this belief that the ENTIRETY of Quantum Break will be what we saw is pure baby shit. Is the entirety of Horizon going to be me shooting arrows and running amongst robot dinosaurs? I mean where is the groundedness of the comments sometimes?

Clean up those quote chains you guys, I keep getting page when you do that shit. Take my name off when you do.

Someone else was telling me that the AI in Scalebound looked bad. Im like, you missed the entire point of the demo dude...Then he tried to use TLOU E3 demo as a demo with "amazing AI"

Sometimes you wonder if half this forum actually plays some of these games lol.

The AI isn't all that good in Scalebound, it probably won't be, but action RPG with good AI....I mean action games in general? Maybe Ninja Gaiden? It's a Platinum game, early enemies will be push overs, but it'll have enemy variety that asks you to flex your muscles a bit. It's not like the standard cyborgs in Revengeance fought exactly like the Gecko's or the Gorillas.

Likewise while The Last of Us is terrific, showing a demo that was by far and away a false representation of your in game Ai isn't exactly one of Naughty Dog's more noble achievements. That is actually bullshit.

Hey Sony. Your turn.

I can still play games first released on the 360 while Sony has shut down the servers to many of their games including Resistance 1-3, Gran Tourismo 5, and MAG to name a few. I tend to trust MS on this front a little more than Sony considering the track records from last gen.

I watched the show again last night so I could give it my full attention and I'm personally more hyped for Quantum Break than I am for Uncharted 4. Quantum Break looks like it is different enough to feel fresh. I will be getting Scalebound day 1. I can't wait to play some 4 player coop. The X1 had a decent showing. No huge surprises, but I wasn't expecting any. As a gamer who owns all the consoles, I have a lot to be excited for.

Thats assuming if Remedy can recapture the heart and soul of Max Payne. And yeah, from what we have seen from both games, Uncharted 4 stomps it. And thats not even because it was the best thing ever or something, but the gameplay just looked more fun simply put. Especially the PSX demo.

It was good. But you have to add it combined with their E3 to see the full picture. It's not that great by itself.

@lostrib: Oh look, a Scalebound hardcore. Lmao.

Horizon already took a shit on it...too late, shill.

lol, i'm not sure how one unreleased game can shit on another unreleased game

You really are trying too hard

"shill", lol really?

Gosh. How many times are you gonna say that?

Scalebound was 12fps max with shitty animation signal unpower of Xbox console, yes. Dealwithit

I guess he didn't get enough attention as a lem so now he's going cow?

It's a shame they have missed out on Gamescom, they think a game show in Europe is not important because of their sales lol!

Sony is at gamescom they just didn't do a conference plus there is TGS, paris games week, and PSX 2015.

It's MS who needs to put effort to get back the audience they screwed over when the Xbone was announced.

Well, they're doing a pretty damn good job winning the hearts of gamers again! Sony on the other hand is screwing their fans for making them wait for greatness with too many games with no release dates.

had MS been in their place would you say this?

They are sitting on their asses exactly like MS did with the 360 so it's basically sony is putting less effort because they are ahead in sales and even then they are putting out more games than MS did back when Sony was playing catch up.

this year I agree. only good PS4 exclusive so far is Bloodborne. it's still August and Until Dawn is coming up so exclusives are coming. 2016 looks great too.

Well, when you're losing the sales wars and you basically share the same Third Party titles, you'll need to rack up your first party efforts. That's what Sony did last gen as they were losing the sales war. It's so funny how much both Sony and Microsoft flip flopped positions. Now MS is trying to build its first party lineup.

@FireEmblem_Man:

Also are we forgetting how MS announced Crackdown 3 in what 2013?, Quantum Break 2013?, Scalebound 2014?

Or is it alright that MS is announcing games with no release dates but you have a problem with it only when sony does?

This is exactly why competition is good. we gamers win.

It looked like any other cover shooter in the last couple years. Psuedo stealth to make up for third person shooting that is old, stale, and slow. At least the timeshifting mechanics has some reasonable potential and on a bad day I'll take Sam Lake as a writer over anyone at Naughty Dog. The Last of us's execution aside, they make derivative ass plots. Lake? He knows he's making plup and relishes in it. I'm not saying QB looks impressive because it doesn't, but stomped by Uncharted 4?

I'll take the concept that has room to surprise vs another Uncharted game.

sony for some reason has been slow in rolling out their first party games, but thats how they have always been with their first party games. Its not like we havent had any offerings. there have been like what 5 or 6 first party games released soo far this gen? how many does xb1 have in 2 1/2 years? i can only think of forza games, halo mcc and ki.

i think its only because the games sony has released have been underwhelming or just ok is why people are complaining. yea they are flipflopping, but i think sony always hold their first party games in high importance...they just need to work faster.

what im more complaining about is the lack of NEW AAA IPS this gen. i like indie games but i want more AAA games.

Finally got to read up on Scalebound, and it's very different as to what PG(Kamiya) has been doing. It's a straight up action RPG.

Sauce.

It's a thing he has always wanted to do. Gonna be interesting to see how that turns out, but it sounds great already.

I doubt they have anything to show. Even at E3 most of their stuff will probably be 2017 or later. One of their big game announcements was someone asking for Kickstarter money or the big FF7 remake that has not even started yet. Everything Ms showed was different from all the games they showed at E3. Sony is looking pretty bleak gamewise.

That and they decided to go to Paris Game Week. Which is also in Europe.

:D

Mmhmm, always love hearing how homeboy comes up with his ideas and why he's going for specific things. His reasoning for Okami being so easy was pretty solid lol.

Personally I went in wanting something different, and I'm excited that it is something different. A less crazy Platinum game isn't a bad thing, Kamiya's last "not crazy" game was Okami, and it was pretty rad.

Right, the folklore thing. Simple enough.

I went in thinking it would be a PG gig. Fast paced action. Tight mechanics. Great encounters. But this, this is something else. But like you said, good on him. A developer getting to make a game he/she always wanted to make, is not something awful.

Not to say this won't be mechanically tight and such tho.
